Posted on by — 1 Comment ↓


Band was real good Friday night. Heard some dx. Saturday night band was down till around 10 PM. Did a modification to the antenna Saturday afternoon in the rain. So now the feed point is at about 20 feet and the legs are at about 12 feet on the dipole. The dipole is set up in a ‘U’ pattern with the two 100 foot legs on the ‘U’ and the two 30 foot legs are at the feed point. Rough dimensions! See pics. Thanks for the points John, W1AN!

    West coast not heard at all. Low noise levels but little DX. Only DL,C6,CT,F,G,HA,OK,OM,PJ2.
    Still enjoyable fun. 160M is a favorite.

    Bob did well. Me? QRP on 160? Maybe next time!
